Public Health Internship - "Be Healthy Beverly" (Summer/Fall 2022)
A little bit about us... At the Y, we help shape the future of our community through the next generation - teens. As part of a coalition of community programs, the YMCA of the North Shore participates in local initiatives that support youth development. This internship will provide insight into the work of non profit programs in the public health and education sectors.
On a regular day you will... will gain experience in both the administrative components of grant management and the application and implementation of grant requirements into action, support the Director of Community Programs with the Drug Free Communities and MOAPC grants, work with the Be Healthy Beverly Coalition to reduce youth substance use and access to substances, specifically alcohol, marijuana, tobacco, and opioids, attend coalition, workgroup, and community meetings - compile minutes, coalition attendance, and volunteer hours, and attend local training webinars and virtual community meetings. And you will get to experience the culture of the YMCA, working in a non-profit environment, and build your professional network by meeting Executive level leadership and program leaders!
